Besieged by dozens of formidable Heavenly Beasts, Wan Bochen’s two Soul Puppets could do little more than fend off attacks. Lin Fei, meanwhile, found it no easy task to hold his own against so many foes without unleashing his trump cards. Yet, his defensive measures were so robust that even the fierce, shocking strikes of the Heavenly Beasts struggled to leave a mark on him.
Wan Bochen and the strongest Tier-3 Heavenly Beast were locked in an intense battle, reducing the vast canyon to a landscape of ruin. However, Lin Fei noted that Wan Bochen was withholding his most powerful Dharmic Treasures and divine abilities, relying instead on conventional maneuvers. Lin Fei surmised that Wan Bochen was wary of drawing too much attention. After all, they were in the territory of the Monster Beast tribes; should they provoke some truly transcendent existence, escaping unscathed would be impossible.
In truth, Lin Fei was holding back for the same reason. He had come to find the Sacred Cauldron, not to wage a war. He knew little of the beasts in this unknown realm and feared what terrifying entities might lurk here. If he could manage to hold off the horde and intimidate them, that would be ideal. Of course, neither Wan Bochen nor Lin Fei utilized their strongest cards simply because the Heavenly Beasts had not yet pushed them to the brink. When one’s life is on the line, who would bother with such reservations?
